Wintry conditions returned to Town Parks Fishery this week!
By the end of the week the lakes had started to freeze with the water temperature around 9 degrees. Luckily, the Charity match in aid of Devon Air Ambulance took place before the real freeze set in and anglers fished in bright, cold conditions.
The dam wall produced the better catches with baits offered on the bottom proving effective.
Running out winner on the day was Jim Morrison who banked 12 Carp for 15kilos 500. Morrison fished corn over pellet from peg 19 to take the win. Second was Richard McMahon with a mixed bag containing some fine Roach and third was Damien Brading banking a mixed bag and the biggest Carp of the day at just under 8lbs!
All the anglers taking part banked fish and over £250 has now been raised for the Charity!
Regular Keith Fisher fished some late evening sessions and was rewarded with multiple bags of Carp. Most of Fishers fish came from the reeds between pegs 1 and 20.
The lower Specimen Lake has fished well with many anglers taking fish.
Brian Reed fished peg 14 and banked a fine Common of 21lbs 4oz. The fish fell to a popped up squid boilie offered mid water.
John Jones banked a Mirror of 14lbs 8oz from peg 16 within 20 minutes of arriving! A purple pop up proved tempting.
Gordon Batt took a nice fully scaled Mirror of 13lbs 8oz from peg one on a bright pink bearded clam pop up.
Once again Ian Ross banked fish. After spending a quiet night on peg 14 Ross awoke to find his lines iced in. After considerable ice breaking he moved to peg 10 which was clear of ice and bathed in sunshine. During the afternoon, with the water temperature rising Ross took a very nice fish, almost a Leather of 15lbs 5oz!
Some large mid twenty’s have been seen cruising around but have been hesitant to feed in the cold conditions.
